• Abstract: The formalism of quantum theory over discrete systems is extended in two significant ways. First, quantum evolutions are generalized to act over entire network configurations, so that nodes may find themselves in a quantum superposition of being connected or not, and be allowed to merge, split and reconnect coherently in a superposition. Second, tensors and traceouts are generalized, so that systems can be partitioned according to almost arbitrary logical predicates in a robust manner. The hereby presented mathematical framework is anchored on solid grounds through numerous lemmas. Indeed, one might have feared that the familiar interrelations between the notions of unitarity, complete positivity, trace-preservation, non-signalling causality, locality and localizability that are standard in quantum theory be jeopardized as the neighbourhood and partitioning between systems become both quantum, dynamical, and logical. Such interrelations in fact carry through, albeit two new notions become instrumental: consistency and comprehension.

• Causality and Duality in Multipartite Generalized Probabilistic Theories [7.257935058244661]
  We first establish a strong link between no-signaling principle and classical processes in tripartite classical systems. We describe a logically consistent 4-partite classical process acting as an extension of the quantum switch. We also provide a device-independent certification of its quantum variant in the form of an inequality.

• Biorthogonal resource theory of genuine quantum superposition [0.0]
  We introduce a pseudo-Hermitian representation of the density operator, wherein its diagonal elements correspond to biorthogonal extensions of Kirkwood-Dirac quasi-probabilities. This representation provides a unified framework for the inter-basis quantum superposition and basis state indistinguishability, giving rise to what we term as textitgenuine quantum superposition.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

• Generalised tensors and traces [0.0]
  Interrelations between notions of unitarity, complete positivity, trace-preservation, non-signalling causality, locality and localizability carry through, although a new notion, consistency, becomes instrumental. One might have feared that the familiar interrelations between the notions of unitarity, complete positivity, trace-preservation, non-signalling causality, locality and localizability be jeopardized as the partitioning of systems becomes both logical and dynamical.

• No-signalling constrains quantum computation with indefinite causal structure [45.279573215172285]
  We develop a formalism for quantum computation with indefinite causal structures. We characterize the computational structure of higher order quantum maps. We prove that these rules, which have a computational and information-theoretic nature, are determined by the more physical notion of the signalling relations between the quantum systems.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

  We study optimal ways to create a large amount of quantum coherence via quantum channels. correlations in multipartite systems do not enhance the ability of a quantum channel to create coherence. We show that a channel can destroy more coherence when acting on a subsystem of a bipartite state.
